Description
During RSVP week, Realtors and affiliates visit the homes of seniors and the homebound and provide free assistance with household tasks like replacing light bulbs, changing furnace filters, washing windows, turning over mattresses, changing smoke detector batteries and other similar household tasks.

RSVP has expanded on the Peninsula and in the South Bay. Last year, volunteers from the Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS? (SCCAOR) joined SILVAR and SAMCAR Realtors and affiliates. This year, volunteers from the Santa Cruz Association of REALTORS? have come on board, extending the program even further south.

Last year, 570 Realtors and affiliates provided free help to nearly 400 homeowners. In the SILVAR's five districts alone, 345 volunteers helped 208 senior residents.

SILVAR Realtors and affiliates are encouraged to volunteer their time and skills to help the elderly and the homebound in their respective communities. It's a way we can give back to the communities in which we serve.

Every member can be involved in RSVP in different ways. Those who cannot perform the household tasks, but would like to help, can make a monetary contribution for cleaning supplies and other expenses.

"Our seniors have built our communities. Through RSVP we, in turn, can show our appreciation for what they have done for our communities," said Eileen Giorgi, RSVP Committee Chair.

Volunteer now by clicking on the link below, completing the volunteer application and faxing it to SILVAR at (408) 200-0101. You may also call SILVAR at (408) 200-0100 and ask that an application be mailed to you. The deadline to volunteer is Monday, March 31.
